Are you having a problem with your drinking? Do your friends and family frequently complain that you drink too much? Have you experienced blackouts, not remembering what you have done during drinking episodes? Or have you experienced problems during your drinking that probably wouldn't have happened if you had been sober?

There are some signs that indicate that you may have a problem with alcohol. They include:

You frequently drink more than you meant to
You drink on a daily basis to cope with stress or strong emotions
You try to hide how much you're drinking
You need to drink to cope with day to day stress
You are neglecting responsibilities at home, work or school
You give up activities you used to enjoy because of alcohol
You keep drinking even if you start having legal problems or relationship problems
These are some of the signs that mean you need to pay attention to what alcohol is doing to your life before it's too late. The bottom line is if you think you are having a problem with alcohol, you probably are.

Physical Dependence on Alcohol

You may deny that you are physically dependent upon alcohol. But if you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that you have to drink larger and larger amounts to get the same feeling of relaxation or calmness that a small amount of alcohol used to give you.

You may also notice that when you decide you're going to stop drinking or at least cut back on drinking heavily, you're unable to do so. You may feel very uncomfortable if you try to stop, and you may experience shaking, sweating, nausea or other signs of withdrawal. Then you want to drink again just to stop these withdrawal symptoms. It's a vicious cycle.

These are clear signs that you have become physically dependent on alcohol
